JSON Format

Even though Shields is probably best known for its SVG badges, you can also retrieve a JSON payload by replacing the .svg extension with .json.

For instance, hitting this endpoint will generate the following payload:

{
  "name": "hello",
  "label": "hello",
  "value": "world",
  "message": "world",
  "color": "brightgreen"
}

Note that the values of the name and value fields are duplicates of the label and message ones, respectively. As of April 2019, name and value are deprecated and will be removed in a future release, please consider migrating your application to use label and message instead.

Feel free to open an issue if you have any queries regarding the JSON format.
